Reinforcing bracket

Abstract

Reinforcing bracket system, for use with gypsum sheathing and other construction materials. The brackets are made from a resilient material, such as metal or metal alloy, and consist of a generally flat, planar main body, possibly with a central portion, which may be solid or hollow, and / or a raised lip, and fastener bores for attaching the bracket to sheeting, and legs for anchoring the bracket in a panel. Mending plates may also be used in a system, along with special-purpose tools for applying adhesive and affixing the brackets and plates.
